I just added xp_chat and everything is working good, but I am looking for some different logging than what is available now.
Currently the xp_chat.txt file is recording the messages as per my chat script file calling NWNXChat_Log().
However, xp_chat.txt is cleared whenever the server is restarted.
Is there a method to setting up a separate log that just continues to append the messages from restart to restart?
Thanks,

| Use the command WriteStamp to store the chat in your server log, but watchout for the spam. |

What do I need to do to implement this? There is no Readme or instructions on how to use it.
Is it as simple as loading the plugin with NWNX4, copying the nwnx_chat script into your module, and adding the NWNXChat_PCEnter and NWNXChat_PCExit functions into the modules onenter and exit scripts?
I've searched the forms for some instructions, but it's frustrating trying to find anything here. It would be nice if there was a readme or something describing how to install / use and what all these awesome plugins can do for an NWNX4 capable PW. |

Pretty much how you set it up. There's also an INI which tells what script will get called when chat happens. |

Thanks, so I can just edit that script to log what I want and use it to script other voice commands? |

Does anyone have the demo module listed a few pages back? The link is broken.
or
Does anyone have a sample chat_script?
I'm using;
NWNX4 Chat Plugin V.0.3.6
NWNX1.9 |

I opened up the NWN1 version of the chat script and found some samples and other goodies here and there in the threads that I updated for NWN2 & NWNX4.
Hopefully something will be useful to you.
First here is a copy and paste from the NWN1 sample chat script:

msg modes:

2: shout

5: srv?
6: party
if msg from DM, then nMode += 16 (17 - DM talk, 19 - DM whisper...)

Just to make sure I got this right.
name this script something like chat_script
make modificatinos to what i want to do and fix a couple things like the wrong {, a mising ; and one mispelled variable compile it, put it on the server
and make sure the xp_chat.ini calls out the chat_script (no extension)
what are the options for loglevel=?
then this will send messages to the log file xp_chat.txt?
will the xp_chat.txt be overwritten every time or will it append or rotate?
thanks |

Hmmmm it's writing the messages to the nwserverLog1.txt but not the xp_chat.txt is that normal?
Is there a way I can use this to capture what someone says and either change it or squash it before sending to the destination player(s)? |

Not sure if you need this still, I only pop in once in awhile to see whats happening 
The answer is definitely yes. You can see in the NWN1 chat script calls to SetLocalString(oPC, "NWNX!CHAT!SUPRESS",1);
You can apply the same theory of operation in that example to the NWN2 code:
void NWNXChat_SuppressMessage();
You can take the string of text of the original chat message and chop it up/change it however you want and then use
int NWNXChat_SendMessage(object oSender, int nChannel, string sMessage, object oRecipient=OBJECT_INVALID);
To resend out your modified message.
Here's a rough example of this (jotted out in notepad and not compiled, etc):
| Code: |
#include "nwnx_chat"
void main()
{
//Get chat message
string sMsg = NWNXChat_GetMessageText();
//Get PC Speaker, and ID Information
object oPC=OBJECT_SELF;
string sSpeakerData = GetName(oPC) + " [" + GetPCPlayerName(oPC) + "]";
//Get chat mode, ID of target player, and chat message body
int nMode = StringToInt(GetStringLeft(sMsg,2));
int nTo = StringToInt(GetSubString(sMsg,2,10));
string sChatText = GetStringFrom(sMsg, 12);
//some variables to be used
string sChatTextMod;
object oPCTarget;
//Search for the word "clown"
int nPosClown = FindSubString(sChatText, "clown");
if (nPosClown != -1) //If the word "clown" is in the text message
{
//Suppress the current message from being sent.
NWNXChat_SuppressMessage();
//Modify the original string to insert "EVIL " in front of "clown"
sChatTextMod = InsertString(sChatText, "EVIL ", nPosClown);
//Get ahold of the original receipient of the message (can be invalid)
oPCTarget = NWNXChat_GetPCByPlayerID(nTo);
//Resend the modified message via the original chat channel
NWNXChat_SendMessage(oPC, nMode, sChatTextMod, oPCTarget)
}
}
|
So basically if someone chatted to me in game "Joe is a clown." or "Quit clowning around!" that original message would be suppressed and I (should) instead receive "Joe is a EVIL clown." or "Quit EVIL clowning around!"

Is there a way to make two PCs receive two different messages with NWNXChat_SendMessage?
I see it has a recipient parameter but I can't make it work. |

What are you passing it as the recipient?

I'm looping the players and sending them messages. The sender is the PC speaking, the recipients are the looped players. I need to show different texts to players without using the private channel. Is that possible. |
